The coolest invention ever!

Have you ever seen the Staples commercial with the Easy Button? Imagine if you had a super cool PARTY button, where you could just push a button and turn your room into a rave?

You know what I would want (besides the party button)?

Ctrl+Z, Ctrl+C, and Ctrl+V

Yeah go ahead, flame me and call me a computer geek, but think about it. It's like that remote from that dumb movie Click. What if life had a Ctrl+Z shortcut? Any false move could just be "undone" and redone again. For example, I'll use today's example of when I was coming home from Boston. Jarcy, Jen, and I had just arrived at NYC and we were walking to the other bus stop so we could catch the bus back to Philly. Jarcy and I were one of the last ones on the bus, so there was limited spacing. Jarcy finds a seat and I was about to get a window seat but the stupid Chinese bus lady says "you sit here!" as she points to the very last row that's in the middle of the aisle next to the stank ass bathroom. So I'm like, OK, it can't be too bad. WRONG. As we leave the city, I notice that it was REALLY hot on the bus, and everybody around me was sweating. I reach up to feel the vent and nothing is coming out. Apperently the air conditioning was broken in the back of the bus, and so everybody from about the 10th row back was sweating. However, I had an even bigger issue. Not only was I sitting next to the bathroom on a hot bus, the air conditioning unit was directly below my seat was overheating, heating up the bottom of my seat, making it doubly hot, with a putrid smell coming from the bathroom that was only seperated by a 4 inch wall from my face.

In that certain situation, the Ctrl+Z option would have come in handy. I would have hit Ctrl+Z and sat down in the window seat, or Jarcy and I would have gotten on the bus that was coming 15 minutes later.

The Ctrl+C, Ctrl+V combination is essential for obvious reasons. I'll give you an example for this past weekend, although the combo needs no explanation. This weekend in Boston was incredibly fun. I finally got to put a face to the names of all of Tiffany's friends that she keeps on talking about, as well as witness things I have never before witnessed. Good times, good food (Brazilian BBQ mmmmmmm), and good stories would be perfect for a copy + paste.

Of course, there is a very good chance that one could OD. I've never seen Click, but I'm sure at the end there was something about Adam Sandler realizing that he shouldn't use the controller too often. Things happen for a reason. We can't be going around changing the past, though every once in a while wouldn't hurt, would it?

Is it worth it?

Currently month 10 of 20 straight months of straight school

I'm half way through. Amazing.

Summer is going by ok, I suppose. Right now I'm taking 2 courses, an Anthropology course on Human Nature and a U.S. History class. Each class is 90 minutes long, and I have each class every day for 5 weeks. Then I get a 3 day break until the second summer session starts when I take a Short Story class and a World History class for yet another 5 weeks. Then I get 2 weeks off before I start the Fall semester again.

I'm tired. It's only the 2nd week of summer session. I have 9 more weeks of this shit to go. Every night I have so much reading to do. I just finished a 3 page paper and I haven't even started doing my reading for Anthro yet. I don't want to. These classes are awfully boring. Nobody is around Newark for the summer. It's rather depressing. I went to Shaggy's last week and there was probably 20 people there total. I could have done a cartwheel if I wanted to. Any other day during the year it would have taken me 10 minutes to get to the bathroom.

So why should I subject myself to such circumstances? Why didn't I just stay at home and work and make money this summer? Why should I put that much more stress on myself? So I can graduate with all my friends next May? Do I really want to get out of college that early? My tuition for the summer is the same as an extra fall semester, so what's the big rush? College is a hell of a lot more fun than the real world and DEFINATELY more exciting in the fall than in the summer. Also, its a lot less rushed and less stress, so why go through it?

WHY DAMMIT?

As for other stuff, we (Redbulls) won our first game this past Saturday by a blowout margin, 60-something to 20-something. Too bad they were terrible. And too bad I was awful that game. 2 points, a few rebounds, a couple of steals. 3 or 4 airballs. Ughh. Next week we're playing against the rival Astonians, however, I will be unable to attend.

Why?

I'll be making my 2nd visit to Boston for Tiffany's 21st with Jarcy and Jennifer. Effectively a much needed vacation with a few of my closest friends in a nice city. As much as I'd love to be playing ball for the Redbulls, I need to get away from DE for a bit. Clear my head or something. Whatever it is, Boston will be "wicked" fun. I can't wait!

Though, I would be missing the Vanilla Ice concert at Kahunaville on Sat. What a shame...speaking of Kahunaville....HAHAHHAAHA. (I'd rather not explain here)

Final note: I got a pretty cool fortune in my fortune cookie today. I think it's true. It read "Your greatest asset is not the quantity of your friends, rather the quality of your friends."

Interesting...I guess my friends are awesome!
